Transformer operations
Caution!
Do not power your locomotive with direct current (DC).
Damage to sensitive electronic components may occur.
PLACE YOUR TRAIN SET ON LIONEL OR LIONEL-COMPATIBLE O
GAUGE TRACK.
THROTTLE UP YOUR LOCOMOTIVE WITH YOUR
TRANSFORMER.
Your locomotive is designed to operate on 8-18 volts
alternating current.
Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible
alternating current transformers are suitable.
Throttle up your locomotive and it will begin to move in the forward
direction. Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired
speed. To increase speed, increase track voltage. To decrease speed, decrease
voltage.
Pressing the DIRECTION button on your transformer will sequence the
Electronic E-unit to the next operating state in the repeating sequence of:
forward, neutral, reverse, neutral, and so on.
To stop the locomotive, cycle the Electronic E-unit to neutral or turn-off
track power.
